Currently on lesson 5. The information is eye opening. My wife and I are very impressed with this realistic approach and common sense methods. I would have to describe it as an old school method with a new century influence. It really gets to the heart of how members of a society should respect themselves and others and take responsibility for their actions. These are excellent tools and I would recommend the program to all parents. Thank You

I wish this program was out when my kids were little. We as parents need help like this, no manual was given at birth. I feel better knowing that I am not alone with how my child is acting. I feel good knowing I can call at talk to somebody. My son is away a college but when he returns I feel more prepared to deal with what's ahead.

Working with the program I learned it is the whole family that needs to change their way of thinking and doing things to make the program successful. We have noticed a positive change in all of us since starting the program.

The voice on the CD is soothing and empowering at the same time. I felt supported and validated in my ability to appropriately discipline. The techniques worked wonders with both my 5 year old bio son and 17 year old foster child.

Negotiator No More
When I ordered the package we thought that we had an usual situation with our son. We were totally perplexed how our once loving and studious son turned into a lackluster, unmotivated and extremely disrespectful human being. The impact on our entire family was negative and disruptive.
A colleague of mine heard your ad on the radio and forwarded the link. I ordered the program and started listening right away. Although the instructions say to listen to one a week, I wanted to absorb as much as I could to see more immediate results. Things were BAD!! I listened to the Jump start, disc one and then the 10 quick tips (which was the best). I made some notes on a post- it and I keep one on my desk at work and another in my car. I immediately started using the techniques and started seeing results..by the time I got to disc three, I labelled myself as a negotiator (I always called myself the peacemaker)and immediatley started working on my behavior. I have found the choice of words, the "disengaging" from arguments, and making rules hard and fast have changed things dramatically. I will not say we have perfection but who decides what perfection is anyway? Our son's grades are improving, he is following rules without repetitive demands and our home is less chaotic and much happier. My next step is to have my husband listen to the CD's so he can have an understanding of my reasoning, my son's reaction and find the "peace" for himself as well.

I am still learning the discs and am finding them helpful with my son who is in and out of trouble, he's had part of his brain removed (R frontal lobe) due yo AVM at the age of 12. He is starting to make some better decisions but I have to REMIND him. He also has seizures now which prevent him from holding a job. SO he is on disability. It is hard and I don't always know how to handle things. Sometimes I excuse unacceptable behaviour because of his disability, but he won't have me around much longer, due to my serious health problems, and I sometimes think I am doing him a disservice letting him stay at home and stay lazy. I keep telling him to get an education, we live 2 blocks from a college and I feel there is no excuse not to continue his education so that he can eventually do something with his life. Blowin off steam!

It takes time to ingest everything at a week at a time pace, but the 10 things in One Minute CD should be listened to FIRST to ramp up the learning curve.

This program is excellent. It does however require alot of time,effort, and patience to work through it. This is no quick fix, but a challenging program that really does stop abusive behavior, but not overnight. Be prepared for things TO GET WORSE before they get better as your child challeges YOU to see what you are made of!Don't let your "normal" be abuse anymore!!The child will back down if you consistantly use the techniques over a period of weeks or months.

This is a wonderful program...My son is diagnosed as "likely to be ADHD" and though he is too young for some of the lessons to be applicable, they have given me great ideas for keeping his attitude from moving into a more defiant one later. I really need to get the Total Focus program to really get a handle on the ADHD issues. The Total Transformation seems to be more for defiant kids than ADHD kids.

I believe the Total Transformation Program is very workable. I just wish I could get my husband to use it! He actually listened to the first 2 or 3 CDs with me, but never put anything into practice.
I will just have to complete the CDs myself and do the best I can on my own.

The program is awesome. The transformation for me as a parent I like alot if we could only get all parents to try this maybe the kids today would have less tempers and mouths and more respect. As well as giving parents the technics to be less stressed. I havent mastered it all the time but i will. i love it. Thank you

I think the most valuable part of the transformation is the one that the parent goes through.
This program has really helped us work with our son and see ourselves and him in a different way

I'm still listening and learning. Life is too short to constantly be arguing. I listen more; I speak concisely; and I expect a response. I believe the children are learning more trust from this approach, and I feel more in control.

The practical, no nosense information contained on these disks was so useful. I listened to them three times to make certain I fully integrated the practices into my vernacular. My two sons are young, 6 and 10, and I think the strategies put into practice early are helping me define boundries and expectations, and therefore avoiding serious attidude problems in the future. It also helped me recognize my behaviors that might invite trouble in the future. Thank you for giving me very realistic suggestions and in a straight forward delivery.
The most effective program there is!!!! , February 20, 2008

I have learned soooo much from you. There are so many up hill batteles with raising children, and your words have really helped my family. I have a blended family (his mine and ours) We were really struggling because I felt as if there were two sets of rules in our home. This program not only helped with the children but helped my husband and I realize that we were overlooking a few things too. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this program and helping so many families around the world. It not only is helping save our kids but our marrige also!

My son turned 10 years old, had a growth spurt, then began acting-out in school and at home. Over the course of 3 months of terror, he was ultimately expelled from the Catholic school he attended for the prevous 5 1/2 years (Pre-K to mid fourth grade). In despiration and the recommendation of the Catholic school principal, we took him to a psychiatrist who diagnosed him with mild Asberger Syndrome in just two, 1-hour sessions....four other licensed professionals, including a neurologist, disagreed. Now, being in public school he was evaluated by the "Child Study Team" who found that he has an IQ of 128 and a cognitive age of 14...with no special education required. His behavior improved at the public school (somewhat) but it was still "war" very often. With no where to turn, I began researching the internet under oppositional definance disorder and found The Total Transformation course. I was familiar with The Total Transformation from the XM Radio infomercial. My son was not diagnosed with oppositional defiance but his behavior was certainly pointing that way. My son is now in the fifth grade and I've had the course for almost 2 mos. and listened to it twice. I've used the exact language that Mr. Lehman suggests and it really has been working. Mr. Lehman brings you back to basics. Slowly, the day-to-day fights are becoming more of a sigh on his part and a victory on mine! Having my masters degree in education, I thought this could never happen to my family, but it did. Mr. Lehman has given me the specific tools and wording to use with my son to regain control and sanity in our home!

we have atotally different boy (14 years); living here now. He responds well to limit setting and even seems to feel better with it. Since making him responsible for his own actions his schoolwork has improved; going from failing to getting passing grades in all subjects. He is our grandson, and being responsible for a teenager at our age is not easy, but this program has made it less of a battle. Indeed, we have NOT had a screaming match since August of 2007.
Thank you

The total transformation program helped tremendously. Our son was extremely oppositional defiant as well as adhd. After trying several suggestions from the tapes as well as working in the work book things began to get easier at home and our responses in dealing with this type of child was more than helpful.
